The report said that just before the jet crashed into an Akron apartment building, an instructor on another plane warned the pilots that weather conditions were barely suitable for landing.

The Nov. 10 crash killed both pilots and seven employees of a Florida development company who had spent the morning and previous day visiting properties in several states, including the 32 East redevelopment project in Eastgate.

At 2:52, the NTSB said, a motion-activated security camera 1.8 miles from the approach end of the runway recorded the jet coming over some trees "in a left-wing-down attitude." The camera recorded an explosion and flames just after the jet left the camera's view.

The plane crashed into a building containing four apartment units. No one on the ground was injured.

The report states that just before the crash, there was a cloud ceiling of 900 feet, with broken clouds down to 600 feet, with 1.75-mile visibility.

Based on Ratliff's experience in the airline industry, he knows NTSB investigators will do whatever it takes to find out why Execuflight 1526 ended on such a tragic trajectory.

"A lot of times, it's going to be pilot error. It's going to be a mechanical situation. Or it can be a combination of both," Ratliff said. "It is good that we've at least got an initial indication here as far as what happened with this, primarily because we've got a lot of these aircraft flying around the world, and if it is something mechanical in nature we want to find out as quickly as possible so that we can make the appropriate adjustments to these other aircrafts so that we can reduce the chances of anything like this ever happening again."

NTSB officials have said there were no distress calls from the jet's pilots before the crash.

Analysis of the cockpit voice recorder continues. The NTSB did not say when a final report might be released.
